Combining the warmth of a hat and a neck warmer in a single piece, this cashmere balaclava is knitted in a deep, saturated shade of purple. The vertical ribbed texture gives the fabric natural elasticity, allowing the hood to follow the contours of the head without feeling tight or restrictive. Around the face opening, a smooth knitted trim houses matching drawstring cords finished with neat knots, so you can adjust the fit when the wind picks up.
Made in Italy from 2-ply Grade A cashmere, the knit feels substantial yet soft against the skin. Subtle shaping at the back of the crown gives the hood a clean, rounded fit, while the lower edge flares out slightly to rest flat across the collarbone and shoulders. This flared base makes it easy to tuck neatly beneath the lapels of a tailored wool coat or zip inside an alpine ski jacket, adding a rich note of colour to cream, navy or charcoal outerwear.
